After every playoff loss during his 17-year career, I always watched Ravens Pro Bowl linebacker Ray Lewis run straight from the field to the locker room. You always felt bad for him because during that time you wondered how many rings Lewis would have won if the Ravens ever had a good quarterback and a legitimate, balanced offense.

Lewis didn't have a great season this year, but it was cool watching him celebrate in New Orleans after the offense put up big numbers Sunday night. It didn't even out all those other years, but it made his farewell that much better because Lewis didn't have to carry the load.
